RI Portfolio

• “consider the introduction of an RI certificate or RI portfolio

(comparable to similar practices in academic teaching)”

• “individuals and institutions could be encouraged to build their “integrity

portfolio”, which includes integrity activities and performances such as training received, teaching activities, coaching, deliberation, active participation in events and initiatives and experience in managing cases and initiatives;

• Incentives: certificates (RI portfolio).
• Academics should be encouraged (incentivised) to develop an RI portfolio

consisting of components such as conducting and participating in RI training as well as participating in RI deliberation on the institutional level or in academic and public debate; but also experience as research manager and supervisor in addressing integrity challenge and RI training

• f students and early stage researchers; integrity coaching and advice. In

this manner, academics develop an integrity record indicating their status and experience as qualified researchers, comparable to teaching

• portfolios. This would be especially meaningful in the context of

international collaboration and mobility, to ensure that all universities and academics involved have a solid training in addressing integrity issues.
